One of the most incredible parts of being pregnant is feeling the baby kick.
It’s even MOREĀ incredible seeing your older children
experience SEEING your bump move from the baby kicking.
I was snuggling with the girls one night before bed and the baby was a wild child.
So I snapped the video below real quick. Tonight he or she was even more active…
Must be how the baby is positioned because I feel a lot… all the time.
My pregnancies are usually filled with horrible nausea, back pain and 2 months of contractions.
But it’s so worth it in the end and these baby kicks keep me going!
I’m so anxious to meet this little one, but wanting it to cook a little longer.
So hanging in thereĀ and giving myself multiple pep talks a day lol.
top two photos: 30 weeks and 30 weeks 4 days.
bottom two photos: 31 weeks and 31.5 weeks.
I’ve been feelingĀ physically exhausted by 9 am these days lol.
But I’m slowing down and giving myself a reality check.
Chasing 3 kids and being pregnantĀ is doing enough.
I made homemade pizza tonight. It was delicious…
but it’s delivery or digiorno from here on out haha.
By the evening, I’m not wanting to be on my feet. My back/leg (sciatica) pain is worse in the evening.
I seriously hop around sometimes on one legĀ and will randomly
shout out when the pain shoots off in my hip area. Crazy part is, it was this bad with Micah and
as soon as I had him, it let up. Only hurting once in a while!
At night I’m ready for snuggles on the couch with my kids, Ā then folding laundry
and netflix binging with ben afterĀ theyĀ go to bed. ;)
Enjoy this video! Life is incredible!

Maybe it is helpfull to you, maybe not, but I couldn’t keep the info from you. I love following you and your family, you do awesome! Lots of love from the Netherlands!

I recently discovered your blog and I have been reading previous post ever since! I loved this video. We are torn to wait a few years or have another baby next summer and this video made me realize how fun it will be if my girls are a little older and will be able to understand what is happening a little bit more (they are currently 1 and 2.5 years old)! It brought tears to my eyes, pregnancy is seriously the most amazing gift! Have a great day!
